Why I Sold My Steam Deck for Nintendo Switch 2...
16Is the Steam Deck still worth your money in 2025? With the Nintendo Switch 2 launching soon at just £400 (or £430 with Mario Kart World), and offering up to 120fps and 4K 60 docked gameplay, the Steam Deck's price tag of £349–£569 is hard to justify.
In this video, I break down the pros and cons of the Steam Deck compared to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 — including real gameplay footage, remote play with PS5, game compatibility issues, battery life problems, and more.

Steam's cheap game library (Batman Arkham Trilogy for £3!)
Access to Xbox & PlayStation titles
OLED screen and ergonomic grip
Desktop mode & software support
PS5 Remote Play
⚠ ️ Cons covered:
Overpriced compared to Switch 2
Weak dock functionality
Constant setting tweaks for performance
